What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Best Brains Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor develops the opening marketing plan for franchisees. Before opening their Best Brains business, franchisees must spend a minimum of $14,000 on local advertising, marketing, and promotion, following a marketing plan approved by Best Brains.
Best Brains may also require franchisees to pay into the Brand Development Fund at the time of the "open house" before the scheduled opening of the Franchised Business. These amounts will then be spent for local advertising, marketing, and promotion of the opening of the Franchised Business in accordance with an opening marketing plan developed by Best Brains.
This indicates that Best Brains maintains control over the initial marketing strategies and how the grand opening funds are utilized. Franchisees are required to execute the plan and allocate the specified funds accordingly. This ensures brand consistency and allows Best Brains to guide the initial market entry strategy.
